Howard Stern and members of his crew found out just how poorly educated many Obama voters were when they interviewed a number of them in Harlem.

They asked them ridiculous questions such as if they wanted President Obama to kill Osama bin Laden if he wins re-election or if he should get life imprisonment, not realizing that he is already dead.

“Every person they interviewed – about 10 people – didn’t know that bin Laden was dead,” Stern laughed during an exchange with sidekick Robin Quivers. “I could play every single one of these interviews, and they don’t know that bin Laden’s dead.”

Still others thought that Obama did the right thing picking Paul Ryan as his running mate or that Mitt Romney was a Muslim.

Stern’s crew even was able to find people who thought that Sen. John McCain was on the ballot for 2012 against Obama.

“I just don’t see McCain is presidential material,” one woman who was interviewed said.

We live in a society where discussing politics is ACTUALLY disdained in the general public because it leads to arguements in many American minds. The issue at play here is that Americans do NOT want to fight for anything anymore. When our military force is LESS than 1% of the American population says a great deal about the Amercan public. Americans want the benefits of living in this society but as we have seen from these recorded interviews many of the citizens of this nation can not even be bothered to learn what the implications on individual american lives will be should one candidate or another be elected. I see that a majority of Americans have abdicted the right and responsability to take charge over their own lives.

I would like to see the same questions asked in other areas of the US to see just how much knowledge people have regarding this election and candidates views on the issues.
It is a shame that we have come this far and society doesn’t care enough to be more informed.

I am not at all surprised….ignorance is what got him in the first time. So many clueless shouting Team Obama, but when asked I have only ever heard….So proud of our country’s first black president….because they are too ignorant to know he is mixed!

I bring this up all the time. The response I get back was, Obama himself claimed to be the first Black President. In essence denying that his mother was white, and denying his heritage. That says alot about his character.

It really points to how much apathy some of the US population has for our sacred right to vote and how taking it for granted WILL be detrimental to our elective process. If the voting population does not take ownership of their individual responsibility to educate themselves to the issues and the candidates, they will one day very soon vote away the very rights and freedoms they are so privliged to have. What’s more, they will be clueless to understand how it happened much less how to get it back.

You people realize he does the exact same thing with Republicans right? Just youtube the Sarah Palin ones. See that’s the great thing for people like me and Howard who are unaffiliated with either party…we can make fun of both for being ridiculous!

That’s true–but some of us try to be a little more balanced. The problem is, people on either side strongly believe certain points that they can’t vote the opponent in. I have voted both sides, and never been really happy with either.

The time has come get rid of all the new deal programs and entitlements. People need to take respondsibilty for their own lives even if that means working at the age of 99. Enough is enough! We need to worry about the debt we’re leaving to our grandchildren and stop worrying about our grandparents. They know how to take care of themselves. They don’t need big government’s help.

You should have heard the interview at NASCAR of MItt Supporters. One guy kept calling Obama “Labomba” and he didn’t even know Mitts name (kept calling him “roamey or whatever.”) When the interviewer asked him “what is the guy’s name that is running against Obama” the redneck just kept saying “you know that guy.” Anyway, I have never seen so many redneck trailer dwellers jump on the republican bandwagon as this year. I can respect a true republican’s stance, but the ignorance this year is outstanding!

John Oliver, who once spurred his followers to crash the FCC’s website demanding net neutrality, is positively gleeful over the news that the agency has approved rules to regulate the internet like a public utility.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg gives pretty hilarious and biting interviews in real life — “not 100 percent sober” ringing any bells? — but Kate McKinnon’s version of the “Notorious RBG” on Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” may just take the cake. From jokes about her morning exercise routine to her sexy dreams about […]

White House

WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid appeals for bipartisanship, President Barack Obama in just three days has provoked Republicans on issues as disparate as immigration, Wall Street and the Keystone XL pipeline — a combative mix of defense and offense that underscores Washington's political realignment.

Defying the Republican-run Congress, President Barack Obama rejected a bill Tuesday to approve construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, wielding his veto power for only the third time in his presidency.

You know it’s bad when President Obama has even lost the support of MSNBC. MSNBC Host Andrea Mitchell basically called the White House’s Summit on “Countering Violent Extremism” a farce during her show Wednesday. “Here he has the summit, no heads of government coming, the participation has not been at a particularly high level. We’ll have […]

The president’s interview with Re/code over the weekend touched on privacy issues, with Obama insisting with “almost complete confidence” that there have been no abuses of the government’s vast surveillance program.

Congress

The student loan debt crisis is not just a growing problem among the American public, it’s growing among members of Congress as well. A grand total of 47 members of Congress reported a cumulative total of between $1.8 million and $4.6 million in student loan debt in 2013, as calculated by OpenSecrets based on personal […]

After a week that saw Republican infighting leading to a dramatic near-shutdown situation for the Department of Homeland Security, House Speaker John Boehner was questioned on CBS’s “Face the Nation” about his leadership. Boehner downplayed the divisions and said that it wasn’t the big picture that they disagreed on, but rather how to accomplish it. […]

Democrats really jumped the gun on this one. It seems that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee was in such a hurry to fundraise over their hatred for Republicans this weekend that they were willing to spread a little misinformation to do so. The DCCC emailed supporters Saturday morning incorrectly saying that Republicans had allowed the Department of […]
